Left 4 Dead Update – L4D2 Demo Dated And More
Seems like a week can’t go by without tons more Left 4 Dead news surfacing and this week’s no different!
L4D DLC – Crash Course
Contrary to previous expectation that the Left 4 Dead DLC, Crash Course, would be available to play while dominating pop-punkers Paramorethis weekend, the release date has been officially announced as September 29th.
For your 560MS points (or free for PC players) you get 1 new campaign, several survival maps and new streamlined multiplayer, which should allow you to play a game in just 30 minutes!
Left 4 Dead gets new achievements
Presumably in advance of the new Crash Course DLC the Xbox version of received a title update which users will be prompted to download next time the load the game.
Changes include an improved infected view point that allows you to see when your fellow special zombies have recharged their attacks, such as the Smoker’s tongue and Boomer’s bile.
The number of achievements has also increased from 50 – 60 and will probably include the PC version updates as well as a couple more (the PC version includes 58 with the survival pack but Microsoft wouldn’t allow new achievements for unpaid DLC) but the achievements themselves are still currently locked and unnamed.
Left 4 Dead 2 demo dated October 27th!
Final bit of L4D news is that the demo for sequel L4D2 will be released on Xbox 360 and PC on October 27th.
While it’s unclear if this will only be available to pre-order customers or the zombie shooting populace at large, the demo is set to include some form of multiplayer and allow players to get a feel for the new melee weapons.
this from game.co.uk (and also Gamestation) if you pre-order:
Your codes will be emailed in advance of the demo which will be available to preorder customers on 27th October. The demo will be exclusive to preorder customers up until 3rd November when Xbox Live Gold Members can join and 10th November when Silver Members will have access.
I would update the post but I doubt your comment will be drowned in replies :)
Not really much of a pre-order bonus. I got Sgt. Avery Johnson for pre-ordering ODST, I would like to have the Master Chief in L4D2 please, lol.
apparently you also get an “exclusive” melee weapon – the baseball bat. however I question it’s exclusiveness…what if you preorder and get the bat, and someone your playing online with doesn’t preorder…how can the bat be in the game for anyone to freely pick up? It confuses my puny brain.
